My three year old went to the doc yesterday with my husband. He did not
understand the dx, nor did the doc take the time to explain what her issues
were. The only real information he really received was a rx for glasses.
That rx reads -0.25 -0.50 x 180 and below that the same is ...

In my previous thread ("from Macular Hole to Retinal Detachment to
Cataract") I described my present situation and a brief history of my
eye.  I am not an eye professional, only a 68 yr old healthy woman who
just wants to retain her vision and independence, so please bear with

Every four or five months or so I get blurry peripheral vision.  The
periphery of my vision becomes brighter and reading can become a
little bit harder.  It lasts about 30 minutes than passes.
I have no other symptoms, except perhaps a slight headache, I say

I have been referred by my optician to an opthalmologist. The reason I have
to go is because I mentioned some discomfort in one of my eyes and the
optician could see no reason for it. He says the opthalmologist has equipment
that means he can do a more thorough examination. I am ...

I first got a diagnosis of dry eye about three or four years ago. I
complained that  my eye felt "sandy". I was given some lubricant for that
and it seemed to help.
Since then, the sandy feeling seems to be gone. In place are watery eyes.

I am facing a cataract surgery in my right (bad) eye, but after my
visit with the cataract doc I am having serious doubts and concerns.
Brief history:  About 8 months ago, while driving, I closed my left
eye for a moment and the school bus in front of me disappeared.  I

So ... after a successful fitting with the Boston Scleral Lens device,
I'm left with a smidgen of sphere OD and a smattering of lenticular
cyl OU* which--at this point--the Boston Foundation for Sight can't
correct.  The corneal portion is zero'd out quite nicely.  I'm now:

I was wondering if anyone else has had  this problem: I have had
progressive myopia since I was young in one eye (which is my "good"
eye) and when they could not correct it with glasses anymore because I
was a  -13.5 they gave me an IOL of +13.5. Something happened during

Great to find out this community to discuss vision related issues.
I had my Scleral Buckling and Vitrectomy surgery 4 weeks ago, the gas
bubble gone in 9 days, but at the time I could see around without the
bubble I found that the scleral buckle shadow (a ring and a dot)
